Here are pictures of a Lennon-Gunns helicipter aerial spraying the
insecticide 'Dominex' right next to the Meander Dam that holds
drinking water for thousands of Tasmanians.
Now why would Tasmania have the highest cancer rate in Australia?

Although CO2 has long been recognized as a greenhouse gas, it makes up
only ~0.03% of the atmosphere (Figure 3), far less than water vapor
(2-4%).  Atmospheric CO2 levels have risen sharply since 1945 to 0.038%,
but the question is whether or not an increase of only 0.008% can

Tasmania is in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The Premier
Paul Lennon, is the guy that makes Bjelke-Peterson look civilised,
and most Tasmanians believe is in waiting to join the Gunns board.
After-all they renovated his house with no other quotes sought

A satellite data reduction error suppressed the corrected temperature
of just the year 2007 by 0.1K and concealed the warming of the last
7 years.  Please see:

(This month's global mean surface temperature report is an
intelligence test.  Let's see who is bright enough to spot the

seems too cheap and yes, we could have retained at least 20 ...

When jets crisscross the sky and cause cloud cover, the surface
temperature is reduced.  Does this affect the atmospheric temperature as
well?  Or does it just lower the recorded surface temperatures, while
the atmosphere continues to warm?
